Funny how little of it turns up, even round here. (BTW there is also a green version)Maybe it wasn't a successful seller, but as a tableware range, I would have expectedto see more of it. Never seen a dinner plate or a cereal bowl even.

A fellow Denby collector suggested that while at Denby pottery, Diana was known asDiana Woodcock-Beckering, and returning to the Denby book, there is just the oneentry for her as the designer of the "Trees" pattern, c1970.

I just found this info

Denby Pottery have produced a new ten-piece range of stoneware called Trees. Two sizes of plate (6in and 8in) together with a cereal or soup bowl form the basis of the set, which also includes a milk jug, tea pot and coffee pot, mug and saucer, and a sugar bowl. The shape was designed by Gill Pemberton and the decoration - black trees set against a spotted sky and candy striped hills - was by Diana Woodcock Beckering.

"Modern Art" is produced by incompetents, sold by charlatans and bought by ignoramuses?

There is the standard purple Trees, and a Green Trees variation, maybe for export.Very little turns up, even round here, ages since I have seen any at all.Cosquently it can command some silly prices. The metal-handled tea pot (from Gill's"Chevron" range), being a good example.

Found this dish or plaque today while out and about. When I first saw it my initial reaction was that it was Diana Worthy, Crich Pottery however it's unmarked and I've not seen anything other pieces of this form. It measures 19cm x 19cm roughly.

That's actually what I was thinking Denby, wondered if it was for testing glazes. I should also add that I did have a couple of Crich mugs with a very similar colour scheme a while back, don't know if I have photos of them anywhere though.
